1. Vanilla Yogurt
-32 oz container of Dannon Plain Yogurt (whole or lowfat)
-1/3 cup Splenda minus a couple of tea spoons
-2+ ts vanilla extract
In a medium sized (64 oz?) mixing bowl, mix either by hand or with a mixer
vary vanilla to taste
put back in original container
2. Coffee Yogurt
-32 oz container of Dannon Plain Yogurt (whole or lowfat)
-1/3 cup Splenda
-7 ts Folgers decaffeinated coffee (caffeinated could be used too, in theory)
-2 oz water
-heat water in microwave in a glass or stovetop kettle
-spoon coffee into glass with hot water (or into 64 mixing bowl with hot water)
-add splenda, mix the liquid together
-add container of yogurt, mix by hand or with a mixer
-try some in a small bowl (it won't fit back into the original container since there's extra liquid)
-return yogurt mix to original yogurt container
Notes
a. The reason for the water is that the coffee crystals won't dissolve properly in the yogurt itself, even with electric mixing. If you don't use water, you get little sharp zings of coffee and a tasteless rest of the bowl
b. Fun variations:
-Mocha: add a couple of teaspoons of sugar-free chocolate syrup (such as Walden Farms) to each serving, and poof! You've got mocha coffee
-Cappucino: add a couple of shakes of ts cinnamon to a serving for cappuccino, or 1/4 to 1/2 ts to the whole container
3. DaniyO's Chocolate - Peanut Butter Yogurt
-8 oz/1 serving of Dannon Plain Yogurt (whole or lowfat)
-2 ts Splenda
-1+ TBS room temperature all-natural smooth peanut butter (Shoprite brand works well)
-1+ TBS sugar free chocolate syrup (such as Walden Farms)
-ground flax seed or wheat germ to taste
-Mix in bowl. Eat.
Notes:
a. I haven't tried this in full container mode--you'll need a larger container than the original, since the PB takes up room. Multiply all ingredients by at least 4 to do this (1 serving of yogurt = 8 oz; 32 oz container) You'll need to eat a serving before returning to the larger container so it will fit.
b. this works best when the peanut butter isn't refrigerated. Natural PB takes months to spoil since its just peanuts and salt, and mixes better when its at room-temperature
c. variation: skip the chocolate syrup, try adding chocolate chips
